"A government of the people, and for the people, made of the people."

That's right. This is the level of agency in making the world better we need to embrace, and continually evoke in people around us.

this is the actual meaning of “shifting the overton window.” it is moving public opinion on an issue from unthinkable/radical to popular (and ultimately policy). don’t surrender in advance.

if you’re here posting about politics you are not part of the “mainstream population” overton speaks of. you should have some sense of how politics works. public opinion is malleable. don’t just sit on the sidelines and jeer.

Believe in the best tomorrow and not the worst today.

I imagine a lot of people will HATE this but:

The Jewish People, my people, went from the worst genocide against a people ever, to founding a state, to taking in a million refugees against the teeth of violent opposition all in the space of 5 years.

in hope miracles are possible
